Vancouver Olympic figure skating champion Evan Lysacek gave a semi-revealing answer when asked about his competitive future last week.

“I think right now I’m in a transition in my life in trying to figure out what my next chapter will be,” Lysacek told Fox 14 TV in Sun Valley, Idaho. “As time moves on, I’m having to sort of close this first chapter, which has been all I’ve ever known. So, I think it’s me understanding that my career is coming to an end, on the ice at least.”

Lysacek hasn’t competed since winning gold in Vancouver in 2010, though he continues to do ice shows. Lysacek has plans to pursue a career in commercial real estate in New York, according to the TV report.

Lysacek’s agent commented on the report.

“Evan has yet to make an official decision as to the status of his skating career, although his quotes indicate which way he is leaning,” agent Shep Goldberg said in an email.

Lysacek, 29, missed the Sochi Olympics with a torn labrum in his left hip first suffered in August. He officially gave up his bid for Sochi on Dec. 10, saying a doctor told him he risked permanent damage if he continued to train at that point.
